the office & binary code

Did you see The Office last week - the Launch Party episode? I cracked up when Dwight started arguing with the Dunder Mifflin computer, but the best bit was when Dwight insulted the computer with binary code. He sent an IM saying, “Why don’t you 0111111011011?” (It’s about 6:45 into this clip if you want to see it for yourself)

So what does 0111111011011 mean, anyway? Thanks to this binary decoder, I was able to find out that it means absolutely nothing. I’m feeling gypped, NBC!

To the writers for The Office, I say:

0101100101101111011101010010000001110011011101010110001101101011

What does it mean? You’ll have to decode it and find out.

    I LOVE The Office! I don’t get the channel, but I do watch it online whenever I can find it. The binary code is hilarious and I had a great time messing around with the binary decoder. I sent a message to the boyfriend on MySpace using nothing but binary just to see what he thinks…He’ll probably think it’s spam. Thanks a lot for the link, I had fun.
